I opened a spicy hot shop in different time and space

Chapter 38 Raising Sweet Potato Seedlings
Ye Baoshan said, "Boss, since this is the case, let's stay together first and see if the imperial court can send us some food."

Ye Feng thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

The crowd cheered.

Obviously really happy.

Since we won't be separated for a while, we have to discuss what to do next.

First of all, old man Du's bamboo weaving, write down all the best sellers, such as storage boxes and plum blossom baskets.

There will be patrolling personnel left in the cave.

It mainly prevents outsiders from stealing children and food.

Then there is no rush to build a house, first build a big wall for the village.

There was no such plan.

After all, soon everyone will live their own lives, and everyone will have their own ideas.

Even if he wanted to propose to build the fence first, it would hurt his peace if someone didn't like it.

But looking at the trusting and eager eyes, he couldn't help but agree.

But without blue bricks, how can the fence be repaired?
"Bricks and tiles are hard to come by now, and it is impossible to build a brick wall. We adapt to local conditions. I took a look. There was a piece of yellow land at the original site of Yejia Village, which was used by our villagers to plaster the walls."

The patriarch nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it used to be a wasteland, but now it belongs to our Ye family village."

Thus, Ye Feng began to arrange.

After all, time is tight.

It is also easy to build a fence, as long as it can stop wild animals or bad guys on the mountain.

The foundation was solidified with compound soil, and the fence was made of sharpened bamboo.

Choose a five-meter-high bamboo, and put the roots into the cement with lime mortar and yellow clay to fix it.

Rattan is everywhere in the mountain, and after treatment, it can be used to connect bamboo.

Drainage ditches more than two meters deep were dug inside and outside, and the sand and gravel soil dug out was just right for building houses and paving roads.

Old Dutou, as the teacher with the highest contribution point, has to take care of his apprentices. There were fifteen of them before, including Liu Niang and they all know how to weave bamboo.

Five more bamboo weaving teams with a total of 20 people were added.

Then some young and middle-aged people go to cut bamboo, the more they cut, the better.

Some people took off the adobe.

The rest followed Ye Feng to dig the foundation and build the walls.

There are also some people who have no technical level, so they all go to open up wasteland, cut down the shrubs on the east and west big wastelands, dig out the roots, these can be used as firewood, and the wild grasses are pulled out and burned into ashes to raise the wasteland.

Ye Luoyin followed Sun and their women's team to look for food.

After all, the staple food now has to be wild vegetables.

By the way, Ye Luoyin is in charge of designing more beautiful bamboo items. Ye Luoyin thinks that storage boxes can be made in a centralized manner, and words can be woven into those with lids.

Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai Cai.

Words that everyone loves.

Old Dutou is very smart, but Liu Niang is more skillful. For example, the work of trimming the edges, or installing the handle of the storage box, small and labor-intensive tasks are all handed over to Liu Niang.

If you don't work so hard, you can still get contribution points.

The people of Ye Family Village became busy again.

But Ye Luoyin, who was looking for wild vegetables, went to the cave next to the swamp to open a small stove with her mother, and found that the sweet potatoes hidden here had sprouted.

I gave it to Ye Feng and asked him what to do.

Ye Feng had no choice, so he had to go to the town alone, and when he came back, he went to the patriarch secretly.

Then the patriarch and Ye Baoshan looked around for fertile soil, and went to Lao Dutou to find three bamboo baskets that were not easy to sell. According to Ye Feng's instructions, they put the prepared soil into the baskets, and distributed them There were exactly three baskets of budding sweet potatoes.

It's actually too late now. If you want to see the effect, you can adopt the method of greenhouse cultivation. Anyway, there are not many, and you can succeed if you pay attention to it.

After planting, it was covered with straw curtains woven by the women's team. This was made by the second aunt Wang and Meng Dazhi's daughter-in-law Zhu, who can't weave bamboo but can weave straw curtains.

It was also what Ye Feng said, you can make whatever you can, even straw sandals, for the people of Yejia Village who have nothing, there is nothing they can't use.

No, the straw curtain is used.

Ye Feng and the patriarch also told Ye Baoshan that this thing was brought by a merchant from another place, saying that it had a high yield and could be eaten as food. He originally wanted to go to the capital to present it to the emperor, but who would have thought that not only did he not see the emperor, but also Was beaten up.

In a fit of anger, he prepared to offer sweet potatoes to the Tartar emperor, but he got sick on the road, and Ye Feng happened to pass by, and happened to have a tael of silver from the patriarch in his pocket.

So, including the drug fee, it was given to the merchant.

One tael of silver, twitched the distressed mouths of the two old men.

seriously.

The yield per mu is three thousand catties, which sounds scary.

Neither of them believed it at all.

Nowadays, experienced farmers can harvest 100 catties of wheat per mu. In good times, these three thousand catties...

Ye Feng told them that if the seedlings are successfully raised, they can be planted on half an acre of land, and more than 1000 catties can be harvested after more than three months.

The two didn't dare to think or believe it.

But all the money is spent, so you must take good care of it.

In Yangshui County, fortunately, no plague broke out, and the county magistrate Chi specially invited the participating doctors for this purpose.

Just the problem.

Those outside disaster victims refused to leave, and there are still more than 1 people gathered outside.

There has been no feedback from the magistrate Chi to the imperial court so far.

Wen Guogong seems to have forgotten his son who is a county magistrate.

In the dead of night, I'm just regretting, it's better to run away and worry less.

It can be seen that the county is in order, and the people feel a sense of accomplishment when they see him grateful.

Ye Hanqing gave the water chestnut rice to Steward Lin, and Steward Lin gave it to the county magistrate, but now there is no fanfare. After all, the life of the county government is getting more and more difficult.

So, let Ye Hanqing follow the district catcher and a few yamen servants to look for water chestnuts.

Not to mention, I found a few places.

Some did not move and grew well, some were pulled out of the pond, and the leaves and roots were eaten, and the water chestnuts that could not be chewed were thrown on the bank at will.

Collecting them, whether they are bad or not, whether they are sour or not, whether they have long hair or not, is not in Ye Hanqing's consideration.

Later, they met bandits who had escaped from Qingfeng Village, and Ye Hanqing's skills shocked the head hunter.

Instead of suppressing or being jealous, he happily reported to Master Hu.

Master Hu was even happier, so he transferred Ye Hanqing to the officers and soldiers squad to maintain law and order in the county.

Ye Hanqing's eyes were poisonous, and he selected a few people who gathered to make trouble, and wiped their necks with a knife.

After interrogating those followers, I found out that they planned to lead people to attack the county in the middle of the night.

If he succeeds, he will slaughter the county magistrate's family, and bloodbath those rich and unkind big families. If he fails, it's okay, just run away in the dark.

The magistrate of Chi County beheaded those who had lives in their hands in public, and sentenced those with minor circumstances to hard labor to work on the embankment.

The remaining victims who did not know the truth hated themselves for being deceived, and even took the initiative to report several hidden cancers.

Ye Hanqing deeply knows that in troubled times, heavy scriptures are needed.

Otherwise, Yangshui County would be doomed.

As for fleeing famine, where can one escape in such a troubled world?
